Build bridges first and the opportunities follow. The simplest shift in networking is to ask what you can do for others, not what they can do for you, and that mindset shapes careers, leadership and impact. 

That’s according to Stephen Lakey, Chair of the Australasian Supply Chain and Logistics Association and technical specialist with Gamma Solutions. Known for his work in mentoring, communication coaching and industry development, he has played a key role in elevating the ASCLA Awards into a major national event. 

Stephen outlines his career journey, the power of mentoring, and why communication remains the biggest unlock in organisations. From introverts mastering public speaking to leaders developing future talent, Stephen shares practical strategies, alongside insights on supply chain technology, automation gaps, and why investing in people ultimately drives performance.
